BTC macro intelligence your agent can actually use.

Connect to Codex

1. Open Settings → MCP servers in Codex.
2. Add a Streamable HTTP server.
3. Use https://cryptowatch.id/mcp.
4. Select Authenticate.

Sign in or create your CryptoWatch account when Codex opens the OAuth approval screen. If the OAuth window does not open, use the CLI steps or the Account-managed key fallback below.

Connect to Claude

1. Open Customize → Connectors in Claude.
2. Select + → Add custom connector.
3. Use https://cryptowatch.id/mcp.
4. Select Add, then authenticate.

Sign in or create your CryptoWatch account when Claude opens the OAuth approval screen. If your Claude plan does not show custom connectors, use Claude Code or another compatible MCP client.

Set up ChatGPT

Public listing: There is no active public ChatGPT directory listing or one-click website installer for CryptoWatch. The button on this page opens instructions only; it cannot install a connector into a personal ChatGPT or Claude account.

Business / Enterprise / Edu: A workspace admin can add CryptoWatch as a custom MCP app. In ChatGPT, open Workspace settings → Permissions & Roles → Connected Data Developer mode / Create custom MCP connectors, create an app with https://cryptowatch.id/mcp, choose OAuth, scan the tools, and publish it for permitted members. Each member then signs in or creates their own CryptoWatch account in the approval window.

If the Developer Mode or custom-connector option is missing, the workspace plan or admin policy does not allow it yet. ChatGPT availability and labels can change as OpenAI rolls out MCP support.

Terminal / CLI agents

Use Streamable HTTP at https://cryptowatch.id/mcp with OAuth scope mcp:read. Sign in or create your registered CryptoWatch account when your client opens the approval window, then start with cw.morning_brief.

# Codex CLI
codex mcp add cryptowatch --url https://cryptowatch.id/mcp
codex mcp login cryptowatch --scopes mcp:read
codex mcp list
# Start Codex and ask: call cw.morning_brief

# Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user cryptowatch https://cryptowatch.id/mcp
# Start Claude Code, run /mcp, then complete OAuth in the browser.
# Verify with: claude mcp list

Developer API-key config

Use this only when OAuth is not supported. X-API-Key is CryptoWatch's HTTP header name; it is not an X (social platform) API credential.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cw": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://cryptowatch.id/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "cw_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Create a developer API key

Sign in to CryptoWatch, then create and manage your developer key from Account. Every developer key belongs to your account, and you or an administrator can revoke it. Never paste a key into chat or commit it to a repository.

# Use only when your client cannot complete OAuth
#   transport: streamable-HTTP
#   endpoint:  https://cryptowatch.id/mcp
#   header:    X-API-Key: cw_YOUR_KEY
# (no key -> 401 Unauthorized)

If setup stops

1. 401 / bearer token required: finish OAuth for the registered account, or send an Account-managed X-API-Key.
2. No OAuth option: use the client’s HTTP MCP configuration and the developer-key fallback; do not invent a public install URL.
3. Connection succeeds but no answer: call cw.morning_brief first, then inspect cw.snapshot only when full evidence is required.
4. Need to remove access: revoke the OAuth connection or developer key from Account; administrators can manage connections in the admin panel.
